Insider info
Roman Kopylov favored — picked against Alessio Di Chirico coinflip UFC Paris · August 29, 2022
The analyst says outright he has no real read on this one and would accept the opposite pick without argument, taking Kopylov mainly because he had to name someone.
Di Chirico's calling card is a highlight-reel head-kick knockout that still looks good given how well that opponent has performed since. Outside of that finish, though, his UFC run has been largely forgettable, and he enters on a rough recent stretch. The analyst views him as a fighter with real finishing instincts but not much else to hang a strong case on.
